I am using VMWare on my 2.6 kernel. In order to get this to work, I had to
install the modules with a script that another guy wrote...
You can find the script here: http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/
You want to grab the file, vmware-any-any-update54.tar.gz
Check out the included README, you will want to run this script as root.
Worked great for me!
